Carbon Farming - 9th November
Would you like to reduce your demand on artifical inputs, increase your margins and sequester carbon in your soil?
In this course, led by The Carbon Farm's Glyn Mitchell, you'll learn how different farming practices influence the carbon cycle, for good or for worse, and what you can do to turn your farm into a carbon sink. We'll take a look at beneficial practices that help sequester carbon and explore the different value of carbon credits, how to measure and monitor soil carbon, and ultimately what it takes for you to transition your farm to a Carbon Farm.
Topics covered:
- On Farm Carbon Cycles and how systems influence a carbon positive/negative farm
- On farm carbon sinks
- Practises and processes of farming carbon
- Different values of carbon credits
- Managing, monitoring, and measuring carbon as carbon credits
- Next steps to becoming a Carbon Farm.
